- Synopsis:
On July 20th 1944, a select group of senior German officers made a daring attempt to assassinate their leader, Adolf Hitler. Paranoid and dependent on drugs, Hitler had lost touch with strategic reality. The war was lost - but the Fuhrer refused to admit it and some of his commanders saw no other option than to kill him. For a brief moment, the outcome of the war depended entirely upon just one man, Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg, meeting Hitler with a briefcase full of reports - and 4lbs of high explosives... Virtual History uses a unique fusion of the most innovative computer animation techniques ever seen on TV screens and historical documents and expertise to recreate a moment in history which was never originally captured on film. The protagonists - Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin among them - are brought to life using physically similar actors and an astonishing new computerised 'face wrapping' technique which gives them the real, fully animated faces of their characters. The effect is stunning. No moment in history has ever been recreated with such authenticity before... - Actors:
